Studying for a degree or professional qualification alongside work and life isn't easy – especially when nobody's ever taught you how to study strategically.

I'm Chloe Burroughs, a specialist study skills tutor and author of The Return to Study Handbook. I help adult learners develop the study skills and academic strategies they need to succeed in their qualification and open the door to their next career move.

I understand what you're going through – the challenge of fitting studying around work and your personal life, the pressure of needing strong results to move forward in your career, and the feeling that everyone else somehow knows to study, except you.

In each episode I share practical, step-by-step ways to:– study in a way that works for your course, schedule and learning style, including ADHD, dyslexia and other neurodivergent learning profiles– study more efficiently so your qualification doesn't take over your entire life– write clearer, more analytical essays– prepare for and perform in exams– build academic confidence and resilience– improve your marks over time

Whether you're studying for a university degree or professional qualification, this podcast will help you ditch the guesswork and approach your studies with a clear, strategic and sustainable plan.
